    The coolest thing about Lil Kim that I always loved is that as legendary and successful as she is, you can tell she had the sweetest, most humble, and at times even shy personality. It's amazing that even at her peak, she never gave off the vibe that she was better than others. She always came off so genuinely nice and gracious of all of her success. Which is why she is STILL so incredibly respected in the industry. I just adore this woman, shes such an inspiration to me.❤

She is an icon and a trend setter and I am beyond enraptured that you focused on her accomplishments rather than her defeats.

    Lil Kim was SOOOOO pretty! I wish she truly could have seen herself as she was! She was petite, cute face, beautiful skin. I wish she should have seen it. I honestly don't think the designers would have hyped her quite as much as they did if they didn't also see her as beautiful. Not that what they thought ultimately matters, but it is a relevant point.

    Lil Kim, Aaliyah, Da Brat, Missy and Mary J Blige were my ultimate black girl hair and fashion icons when I came of age in the 90s (name a more iconic quintet… I’ll wait 🤣) . It seemed like back then the emphasis was much more on playfulness than perfection. Oh, how I wish Kim could see how utterly amazing she was - her bold persona and the cheeky sparkle in her eyes made her more beautiful than any surgery (which I’m not against in principle, but we can agree we’ve seen diminishing returns). Oh well, we’ll always have THAT purple catsuit, which remains undefeated 💜

    That's why I love the long KZreadr's videos (Part 1 & 2) that covers the obsession Nicki had with Lil Kim. Very detailed...pictures say 1,000 words. The comment section showed that some of Nicki's fans were finally seeing just how much Nicki copied to the point they recognized it was scary and creepy. From the fashion, picture poses, and lyrics. I mean she was even trying to pose with a kangaroo like Kim did. It made some of the Barbs admit Lil' Kim was the original rapper Barbie who Nicki modeled her entire career from.

I remember seeing all these looks for the first time when originally worn and many still give goosebumps..She really was ahead of her time considering many of the looks remain current and fresh looking. But the best thing about KIM is she is a beast in the studio and actually has given us timeless hits as well as looks. She will forever be respected on both levels. None of the current female rappers can deny taking a page from the Lil' Kim playbook and that's just facts .So thanks again for such a wonderfully put together retrospective on this awesome human.

The reason why everyone started to hate her was simply bc of her nose jobs and skin lightening which isnt even her fault, she was compared to Faith evans who is light as hell and was constantly mocked of her black features and dark skin, its not her fault that she got rid of what she was made to believe was ugly, everyone does this to black women and she is not to blame, rather than reminding her how beautiful she is everyone laughs, horrible.

    The kids these days will NEVER understand how outstandingly rare it was to see a hood girl be high fashion and a rapper. A REAL hood girl at that. Not just someone portraying a gangsta girl. The reason Kim’s era of ppl will never fully embrace Nicki is because WE KNOW! Nicki STOLE her entire persona and ran with it. Then had the nerve to be disrespectful. What the kids see is so normalized that they won’t ever truly understand Kim’s impact. They just see another woman in a colorful wig.

I remember the first time I saw Nicki’s “squat down” pics from her first hit “Itty Bitty Piggy” and though “damn! Didn’t Kim do this??” Then to see how nasty she was to Kim when she came up made me dislike her even more.
